Sabic has developed a portfolio of high performance Lexan polycarbonate copolymer resins to meet the increasing performance requirements for new application designs and to help customers reduce system costs, according to the company.
The family of products includes six copolymers: Lexan HFD, Lexan XHT, Lexan FST, Lexan DMX, Lexan SLX, and Lexan EXL resins. These combine high heat resistance, excellent flow/ductility, high impact strength, scratch protection, good flame/smoke toxicity performance and higher levels of UV protection.
“Our expanding portfolio of Lexan copolymers clearly underscores Sabics leadership in creating innovative new thermoplastics to address diverse and evolving customer needs,” said Bala Ambravaneswaran, product marketing director, Lexan copolymer resins.
“To break new ground in performance we moved away from incremental modifications and introduced radical new monomers in the resin chemistry. This approach has resulted in some unique and best-in-class properties in the Lexan copolymer resins.”
